Inspiring Teacher Uses Humor And Creativity In His Classroom

Teachers are constantly struggling to find new and creative ways to keep their students engaged.

In today’s ever-changing world, it simply isn’t enough to rely on reading, writing, and arithmetic to rule the classroom. Advancements in technology have opened up a whole new rule book for student engagement, but not every teacher is willing to see the advantages of changing up their teaching styles.

But Joe Dombrowski, or Mr. D, is leading the charge when it comes to finding ways to make learning fun so that kids will look forward to coming to school. And based on his kiddos’ reactions, it’s easy to see that there’s something to Mr. D’s unorthodox approach to teaching.

You might recognize Mr. D from his now infamous video of a surprise April Fool’s spelling test that was “CHCHCH” to say the least.

Before becoming a teacher, he was a volunteer counselor for five years at a summer camp for terminally ill children, which ultimately inspired him to make a career change.

Describing his personal teaching philosophy, Mr. D believes, “You have to make the educational experience fun and engaging.”
